less the 24hs after this review was posted we received a call from the company in a very defensive…read moremanner arguing my point in this review that the communication was strongly lacking. From a customer service point of view this call we received today was highly unprofessional even tho it did end in them seeming to understand where we were coming from. If the call was to happen it should've started out with I'm sorry for experience how can we improve and not try to be defensive. This caused my review to go from 3 stars down to 2. Communication is key and it can definitely be improved on here. The work that was completed was good but the lack of communication and unprofessional call has left a spur taste in my mouth. Double check your estimates. I had a piece of the requested project left off the estimate after clear communication that it needed to be done. Walked the team through what needed to be done when they got here. At that point you think they'd point out it wasn't part of the estimate but no they waited untill the rest was done and told us it was going to be almost 900 for what was forgotten on the estimate. So make sure you double check for errors because im very frustrated with this because it wouldn't have taken long since most of the pvc is already there . They also charge 3% for every thousand dollars and they did not communicate it at any state in the process of hiring them. ( they didn't charge us because it was not disclosed in the estimate itself) but beware it does exist.

I contacted Fry Heating and Cooling on July 10th in order to obtain an estimate for a new central…read moreair unit. Fry Heating and Cooling scheduled an appointment window for the following day, July 11th, 2025 of 12:00 noon to 5:30 p.m. Their technician never appeared at my home. I sent a text to the company number at 5:30 p.m. and, about 40 minutes later, received a phone call indicating that the service technician was either unaware of or unable to make it to my home during the time frame provided by the Fry Heating and Cooling representative the day prior. The following day I received several phone calls and texts suggesting that I was the problem since I had contacted company personnel regarding the failure of Fry Heating and Cooling to honor the service call time frame that they had offered me, the customer! Then, Saturday afternoon, a salesman (Anthony) called me, apologized for the technician's oversight and asked to set up an appointment with me on Monday, July 14th, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. which I accepted. Wonderful, yeah? Nope. Early on the afternoon of Monday, the 14th of July, a customer service representative ("Karen" apologies if that wasn't her correct name) contacted my by phone with all sorts of ridiculous excuses as to why the service technician couldn't make it. When I explained to her that a 10-second text from the technician indicating that he was running late and would need to delay his arrival within the appointment window would've been appreciated (since I had set aside an appreciable portion of my day to wait for their service technician to honor the commitment that Fry Heating and Cooling had made of their own volition), "Karen" snapped, "We don't make specific appointment times for anyone!" I informed "Karen" that I was aware that a specific time was not promised and had agreed to the time frame as promised by the Fry Hearing and Cooling service representative of 12:00 noon through 5:30 pm, the Thursday prior. Then "Karen" started offering ridiculous excuses like, ''the service tech has a cochlear implant'' to which I countered, "That may be, but he also has a company cell phone, my contact information and phone number, and his fingers aren't broken so he could have easily spent ten seconds to send me a text indicating that he was running late.'' I told "Karen" that I would've happily waited in that event had that simple courtesy been extended to me. "Karen's" response to my statement was, "Well, he might not have known that he was scheduled to provide an estimate at your home that day!" to which I asked, "Who sends service personnel out into the field without providing them a schedule of work assignments and obligations?" Well, that did it! "Karen" responded with the following text (which was both 'tone deaf' and hilarious): "I'm very sorry that you are so upset about a technician that was working very hard for his customers who had no air conditioning, working after hours and may not have even known the time until he sent you that message. If you do not have the patience or understanding regarding his oversight, we do not feel that we will be able to work with you on this new equipment. We feel it is best to cancel the estimate appointment for this afternoon. Thank you." Classic deflection in denial of her tremendous incompetence. Clearly, the message that Fry Heating and Cooling is sending is: "The customer is not important and at fault if our personnel cannot perform or meet their professional obligations!" I'm pleased that it worked out this way. I cannot imagine being saddled with the burden of having to deal with such childish and immature behavior while in the process of having to have a central air unit (worth thousands of dollars!) replaced. Thanks, Fry Heating and Cooling! I dodged a proverbial bullet! Unfortunately, there is no option for 'zero' stars, so I reluctantly give Fry Heating and Cooling one 'star' only because a lower, more fitting, rating is unavailable.
